Dear Heather:

Go No More A-Roving

words by Lord Byron, music by Leonard Cohen

Intro: C# . . . |G#6 . . . |F# . . . |G# . . . |
       C# . . . |G#6/c . . . |F# . . . |G# . . . |

          C#           G#6/c
So we'll go no more a-roving
    F#              G#
So late into the night,
            C#                 G#6/c
Though the heart be still as loving,
         F#                G#
And the moon be still as bright.

          F#                 B/f#
For the sword outwears its sheath,
         F#                 B/f#
And the soul outwears the breast,
         F#maj7               Adim
And the heart must pause to breathe,
             A#m      C#/g#   G#sus4   G#
And love itself have rest.

            C#                 G#6/c
Though the night was made for loving,
         F#              G#
And the day returns too soon,
           C#            G#6/c
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
        F#           G#
By the light of the moon.
        F#            F#m     C#  D#m7  C#/f  G#  F#
By the light...    ...of the moon.

And the day returns too soon,
           C#            G#6/c
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
        F#           G#
By the light of the moon.
